Abstract: A system and a method for taking photographs in a photo kiosk and sharing the photographs with others using a mobile device loaded with a specialized application. When the user is in the vicinity of a photo kiosk, the mobile device wirelessly connects with the photo kiosk. The user's mobile device is used to take pictures by triggering the camera's shutter using the application on the mobile device. The mobile device retrieves the pictures taken by the user from the photo kiosk during the user's session and presents them to the user. The user may select photos to share with others through email, social media, a public stream, or other known means, or may add photos to the user's profile. Photos may be edited, deleted, tagged, or printed using a wireless printer.
